in Gießen and the Wetterau are facing uncomfortable weather conditions after a heat wave has shaped the area in the past few days. A quick interplay between the heat and sudden rain is in progress, which is a challenge for the region.

Current predictions from the German Weather Service (DWD) warn for the districts of Gießen, Lahn-Dill and Marburg-Biedenkopf. These warnings are valid to this afternoon and indicate up to 25 liters per hour on precipitation quantities of up to 25 liters. The risk of flooding should also not be underestimated, which is why road users should be prepared for aquaplaning.

storm warnings for Middle Hesse

In addition to the warnings of heavy rain, there are indications of possible thunderstorms in the Marburg-Biedenkopf district until around 1.30 p.m. This weather situation represents a striking contrast to the previous warm and dry days in which the temperatures regularly exceeded 30 degrees. Meteorologist Dominik Jung describes the current situation in a comment as "deep Xania", which is a characteristic of unstable weather for watering and surrounding areas.

Today, on September 4, in many parts of Hesse, showering and thunderstorms are expected. According to the predictions, the rainfall in southern Hesse is more likely to be expected in the morning, while using it in the northeast of the federal state in the afternoon. In Frankfurt, too, citizens have to be prepared on thunderstorms of level 2 that could be accompanied by heavy rain and gusts of wind.

While these uncomfortable weather conditions ensure a little cooling, the heat wave remains for the time being. For the coming Saturday and Sunday, the weather forecast again points to temperatures around 30 degrees. But the anticipation for outdoor swimming pools could be clouded by the ever threatening showers and thunderstorms.

outlook for the coming days

for Thursday, September 5, is also expected to be with isolated showers and thunderstorms. However, the weather in Kassel and North Hesse should loosen up during the day. However, the temperatures remain summery and can reach between 25 and 31 degrees, while the nights should be dry with temperatures from 13 to 17 degrees.

For the coming week, a striking weather turnaround is in prospect. Meteorologist Jung announces a cooling that could occur from Tuesday to Thursday if the temperatures drop to values ​​between 20 and 25 degrees. This would gradually end the stressful heat wave, which many people in the region already experienced with high temperatures and little rain.

The upcoming weather warnings and the showers should not be ignored because they can have significant effects on the safety and mobility of people in Gießen and Wetterau. Weather observers and citizens should prepare for an inconsistent and challenging weather period.
